Janet Rogers AWS - Workshops

ARTIST STATEMENT:

“I love the qualities of watercolor – its fluid nature. To me, the
interaction of artist with the medium is like a dance – full of motion,
feeling and expression. I love to see what develops in the painting –
always searching for new color and composition. As a teacher, I would
like to enable students to find their connections with watercolor in a
new and expressive way”

Janet Rogers, AWS CLASS DESCRIPTION: Flowers
and Portraits in Watercolor Fresh flowers in the studio will be the
inspiration for the beginning of this workshop – progressing to the
portrait in watercolor, either from the model or photographs that
students bring or from my collection. Through a series of painting
exercises, students will develop a more loose and natural approach –
giving them an opportunity to be more spontaneous and expressive in
their paintings of flowers and portraits. A few drawing exercises will
be included for the portrait. Many “features” will be covered! –
including children’s portraits. Some students may find they wish to
return to flowers, and that is fine. Janet will demonstrate approaches
throughout the workshop and work individually with students as well as
class instruction.
